Ulhe Satly (Ear Hrrl UNC: No Web Security Changes Needed Officials say University's site is more secure By Emma Burgin Assistant State & National Editor A Yale University Web site security breach has heightened UNC-Chapel Hill admissions officers’ concern over posting admission decisions online, but the practice will continue. In July, Yale administrators contacted Shirley Tilghman, president of Princeton University, concerning numerous occasions in April when Princeton admissions office computers were used to gain access to applicant information - including admission sta tus - on the Yale Web site. To gain access to the applicant infor mation part of Yale’s Web site, a name, Social Security number and birth date were needed - all information required on the Princeton admissions applica tions. In a statement made Aug. 13, Tilghman said Stephen LeMenager, Princeton associate dean and director of admission, had accessed Yale’s Web site in order to find the admission status of TUITION From Page 1 A written charge to the task force from July states that in-state undergrad uate tuition and fees have increased 63 percent in a three-year period - from $2,365 a year in the academic year 1999-2000 to $3,856 in 2002-03. The 20-member committee consists of administrators, faculty, staff, BOT members and students, including Student Body President Jen Daum’s chief of staff, Rebekah Burford. Shelton said Daum has the option of being on the committee as well, although she did not attend Monday’s meeting. Short five members, the group sorted through documents Monday, including reports that analyzed implementations and uses for campus-based tuition. Task force members also were given various statistics to discuss, including fig ures on freshman admission, UNC-CH funding and comparisons of state allo cations versus enrollments. Task force members then discussed jjBATTENTBO— Do You Have Fall Allergies?

Yale administrators informed the U.S. attorney’s office in Connecticut of their findings. UNC’s admissions Web site is similar to that of Yale’s, causing admissions offi cers to question the security of appli cants’ information. “It’s a wake-up call,” said Jerry Lucido, UNC director for undergradu ate admissions. “We have to be on our guard at all times.” But he said the admission portion of UNC’s Web site is more secure than Yale’s was. It requires not only Social Security numbers and personal identifi cation numbers but also requires a pass word specified by the applicants them selves. All prospective students have a per sonalized Web page to inform them of the University’s decision. “You’d have to be an expert hacker to get into our system,” Lucido said. “We feel good about it.” whether tuition is the most efficient way to raise revenue, said Shirley Ort, director of scholarships and student aid. “Nobody, of course, had any easy answers,” she said. “There was good representation though. I think it’s going to be an even better discussion than what we had last year.” Ort served on both last year’s tuition committee and a similar one in 1999. Shelton said he hopes the task force will meet at least five more times before the end of the semester so it can make initial recommendations to the BOT. The next meeting is tentatively sched uled for Sept. 26. In the meantime, committee mem bers will be studying the impacts of past tuition increases and any other elements to the equation they feel is necessary in the process, Shelton said. “We want to make sure people are working on as much information as possible,” he said. “I think the long-term goal ,is to have this be an item of discussion each year.” The University Editor can be reached at udesk@unc.edu. University Since the investigation into the inci dent was concluded, LeMenager has been asked to leave the admission office, where he served the university for 20 years. Princeton University Dean of Admission Fred Hargadon took full responsibility for LeMenager’s actions and has “pledged to do everything he can this coming year to restore the integrity of the admissions office and the confidence of applicants that their privacy and confidentiality will be protected,” the Tilghman state ment read. Hargadon will “You have to be an expert hacker to get into our system. We feel good about it. ” Jerry Lucido UNC Director of Undergraduate Admissions retire next June. “Princeton’s president has made a strong statement for ethics,” Lucido said. “These are two individuals who have been very, very good. I don’t know if an error in judgement should cost you your job every time.” But Lucido added that this is not an occurrence to be taken lightly. AIRPORT From Page 1 but even if those are successful, I doubt it will be ready byjanuary 1.” Opponents have said relocation won’t solve the entire problem. They contend that doctors won’t participate in a program they have to drive long dis tances to get to. Insko said a University conducted survey might tell a different story. “Off the top of my head, about 70 percent of the doctors said they would continue to participate,” Insko said. “While this is a drop, it’s still more than half.” Insko also said she doesn’t think less ened mobility should affect the pro gram’s quality.

New safety pre cautions will be in effect when Yale’s admissions Web site opens again in April 2003, said Thomas Conroy, deputy director of public affairs for Yale. Conroy said Yale has not decided what the specific precautions will be.

Moeser had set the deadline for the airport’s closure before the end of the year, but if the legislation is approved, Moeser will have little control over the future of the site. For the legislation to pass into law, it will have to be approved by both cham bers. The City Editor can be reached at citydesk@unc.edu. TRUSTEE From Page 1 on a casual basis, Burnett said, he is still looking forward to the experience Carson offers and the dynamic he thinks the newest trustee will add. “What he brings is ... a proven track record of public service," Burnett said. “He’s got a great reputation.” Carson, 64, will assume his post with an already established and extensive background in higher education. Serving on the BOG for 22 years, he was the board’s chairman from 1984 to 1988. During his time as chairman he head ed the search committee that selected then-UNC-system President C.D. Spangler.
